There is a word called “Everything is against it”, which is one of the most essential laws in our world.
In fact, both things and people apply this rule, which contains the simplest dialectical materialism.
Everything goes back and forth between the yin and yang poles, and people are the same. There are too many words to describe this phenomenon, such as the extreme, the blessing and disaster, the joy and sorrow, the good luck comes, the rain, and so on.
We will use these words to comfort ourselves in adversity, and we will also use these words to remind opportunity knocks of ourselves, but we often forget this when observing others, I like to beat people to death with a stick and look down on them.
Especially in the era of mobile Internet.
On the social platform of mobile phones, a short video, a shot or even a photo may be spread viral. People seek happiness from it with inherent concepts and knowledge. Once they find something high, I was happy to like, share, and leave a message. In such a spread, a person’s image is solidified.
Ben Simmons is like this. On that day, he went to the local park with the basketable Nets team to participate in the so-called training. In fact, he interacted with local fans to promote the new season of basketable nets. In a relaxed and casual atmosphere, Simmons came with a GOLDEN ROOSTER semi-independent, and rarely threw a basket, but with a crooked palm, the ball went out far away, a typical Western-style air ball.
This video spread viral on social media. Everyone hahayile, Simmons is still the one who can’t shoot.
In fact, Simmons is never the Simmons who can’t shoot, and it is not degraded by Simmons who is very accurate in shooting. He can’t shoot when he is the champion, when he is an all-star, he can’t shoot when he is in defense for a while. However, after the surprise with 76 people in Philadelphia, everyone focused on his shooting.
If you only think that he is a player who can’t shoot, rather than an all-star who is 211 tall and good at playing 5 positions, can defend against all positions, and has superb offensive and defensive conversion skills, then he is worthless.
When you think Simmons is worthless, it is also his most dangerous time.
Simmons was coming out of the huge psychological shadow. His waist was not good and he had an operation. In the first two preseason games, he scored 6 points 5 assists against 76 people and 4 points 4 assists against the Heat, but grabbed 10 rebounds. Both basketable nets lost, and Simmons was in a very general state, which was one of the reasons for the short video fermentation.
But in today’s third warm-up match against the Bucks, Simmons played a very beautiful offensive and defensive conversion, assisting 10 times in 28 minutes. He was still the tall organizer who didn’t get much points. He only got 7 points in the game and only got 1 out of 4 free throws. However, under his instigation, basketable Nets center Claxton ate cakes to support, the basketable nets fast attack score is 23-9, which does not include the attack and defense conversion score not recorded in the fast attack.
Another aspect of this game is Simmons’s pair of letters, because he often has to be one-to-one in the lower position. Although he was knocked open by letters and dunk directly, the letters got 24 points in the whole game, there are 12 points from free throws and 6 of the 21 shots.
He won 10 points basketable nets, but winning or losing is not important. The biggest benefit to basketable nets is that Simmons seems more active and confident than the previous two. Of course, this is not the original Simmons. In the four seasons he played, the average score was close to 16 points, while the pre-season added up to 17 points, which was not enough to plug his teeth.
Does Simmons need to be able to shoot? It is certainly the best to vote, but if he doesn’t vote, it doesn’t prevent him from doing the original Simmons. This has been confirmed by Nash, and basketable Nets won’t force him to shoot.
In Nash’s view, Simmons has not played for a year and has had psychological problems. He has had surgery on his waist, so he must be patient with him. In the short term, Simmons is unlikely to return to the previous best state. It takes time to find confidence and rhythm, which is actually to find the feeling of playing before. Only two or three warm-up matches are played, and the number is far from enough.
Simmons should feel lucky because the two bosses around him are very tolerant to him. Durant said:
“Just give him Trust. He passed the ball when he had a vacancy and told him to fight fiercely. But I will not help him deliberately. I am not here to be a nanny. Big Ben knew that as long as the opportunity came, he would fight fiercely. As for entering or not entering, who cares? If you fight fiercely, we will be happy. He can tell me the same, so we have been instilling this energy into each other…… If you want to make a shot, you can play for scoring. Putting the ball into rim is the essence of playing. But I don’t talk about it every day. He knows what’s going on.”
Durant also scored 19 points and assisted 8 times for the stag match.
In fact, these three so-called “giants” in basketable nets have experienced various network storms in the past year. In the eyes of the world, they are all “problem Youth”. Owen is unwilling to get a vaccine, and Durant is clamoring to leave, simmons is more complicated.
In terms of character, Simmons is the weakest. He has few words, and he doesn’t say a word when the Internet is booming. Durant is different. He likes to go back online and even use a small size, which can release a little psychological pressure. Owen is more detached. He likes reading and thinking, even if he thinks about the whole world, he will laugh. Owen was also exposed to cyber violence, but he took it lightly. He commented on the cyber violence Simmons suffered in this way:
“On the Internet, I am no longer a child. I grew up in the Internet era and should be grateful to us because the technological explosion made us get everything, of course, it is impossible to predict that social media will become the basic platform for carrying everything. The algorithm throws everything into your eyes, making you overwhelmed in this one-stop store. Thinking on this level, even fools will be grateful, because everything we have changed.
“For him (Simmons), because I grew up in Australia-I don’t disrespect his growing environment-I don’t know if it is like a melting pot here, there are many strange people waiting to talk about politics…… So I told him that you should not only say “fuck it”, but also learn to deal with it and have the ability to face it.”
Owen said he had the responsibility to help Simmons tide over the difficulties, but in the end he had to rely on himself.
Simmons gradually got used to facing cyber violence. For example, after his air ball video fire, he also understood that he must learn to be brazen and face pervasive ridicule:
“That day, there was a video of me throwing air ball in the park. In fact, 10 people had to cast many air ball on that day (only my fire), it seems that there are always people looking for my videos deliberately, trying to find a way to stir up hot-Big Ben won’t know this, Big Ben won’t know that. However, do you think I will air ball every ball? This is not the case. But since I can’t stop it, I have a thick face. I also understand that don’t take everything to heart. Social media is just like this.”
Fortunately, they all play basketball and have reached a certain level. Social media’s judgment on them will eventually depend on their performance on the court. On the NBA platform, if you don’t play well, no matter how handsome you are, how good you are, and how gentle you are to the fans, you will become the object of group Ridicule. In turn, you can play well all the time or not, but as long as you play well next, you will be regarded as a hero.
Simmons has been demoted to the floor and even entered the basement. There is no lower trough than this. When you can’t see him and don’t care about his existence, that Simmons is the most terrible, because he will come out from the dark and scare you.
He didn’t need to be a better Simmons at all. It was enough to find himself.
